AE update (wait)

[Gabriel Regalbuto]

Hits? Isn’t that a Betacam thing? Oh well, one of these days someone is going to release some fully baked software. They’re getting better all the time!

[Gabriel Regalbuto] “I can no longer switch programs while rendering. AE won’t switch to the background and I have to wait.”

I’m not seeing this on any of our systems (PCs, Windows 7 & Windows 10. I’ll get to some Macs today or tomorrow).

Have you done any basic troubleshooting? Restart Ae, reboot the computer, reset preferences, etc.?

Can you consistently reproduce the problem? Does it always happen on the same project? With the same footage? With the same effects? What steps can someone else take to reproduce the problem?

[Gabriel Regalbuto] “I hope they fix this quickly”

Doh – reboot fixed it! Thanks for reminding me of the obvious.

I spoke too soon. On a freshly booted system in a different project with different effects, and after deleting caches I get the same problem. The dreaded red frames in Premiere are back with a vengeance, and Media Encoder seems to have caught that bug too.

As to preferences, are you suggesting some kind of Final Cut 4 trash preferences ritual?

Haha – no. Just remembering when FCP would act up there was a whole drill for deleting and restoring preferences which would usually clear things up and wondering if Walter was prescribing a similar fix here.

Red frames are supposed to happen when MediaCore can’t decode a source frame. What format is your source footage?

I was. To reset Ae’s preferences, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) while Ae is starting. However, if the problem is caused by some kind of footage issue, I wouldn’t hold out much hope here.
